Verbal Art, Verbal Sign, Verbal Time
Roman Jakobson, one of the most important thinkers of our century,
was best known for his role in the rise and spread of the structuralist
approach to linguistics and literature. His formative years with the
Russian Futurists and subsequent involvement in the Moscow and
Prague Linguistic Circles (which he co-founded) resulted in a lifelong
devotion to fundamental change in both literary theory and linguistics.
In bringing each to bear upon the other, he enlivened both disciplines;
if a literary work was to him a linguistic fact, it was also a semiotic
phenomenon—part of the entire universe of signs; and, above all, for
both language and literature, time was an integral factor, one that
produced momentum and change. Jakobson's books and articles,
written in many languages and published around the world, were
collected in a monumental seven-volume work,
Selected Writings
(1962-1984), which has been available only to a limited readership. Not
long before his death in 1982, Jakobson brought together this group of
eleven essays—
Verbal Art, Verbal Sign, Verbal Time
—to serve as an
introduction to some of his linguistic theories and, especially, to his
work in poetics.
Roman Jakobson (1896-1982) was born and educated in Moscow. He
worked in Prague and Brno from 1920 until 1939, when the Nazi
invasion of Czechoslovakia forced him to flee, first to Scandinavia and
then to the United States. He taught at the Ecole Libre des Hautes
Etudes in New York and then at Columbia, Harvard, and the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Krystyna Pomorska and
Stephen Rudy are both professors of Russian literature, she at MIT,
and he at New York University.
